Distribution map
Distribution - 2017
This map shows the observed distribution of the Superb Lyrebird for 2017.
The red circles are the grid cells where Superb Lyrebird have been reported.
The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 315 grid cells with reports, 83 had only one sheet; an example is grid number D22.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Superb Lyrebird was 100.0% (eg grid number D22) and the minimum was 1.1% (eg grid number I15). 
Distribution - all years
